Moments like this are everything.

They pull me out of the noise, the to-do lists, the patient charts, the constant thinking… and remind me exactly why I do what I do.

Family is the anchor. The steady place I return to.

It’s the motivation behind the long days and the heart behind the work.

My practice was built with intention, not to fill my schedule, but to help me stay present. So I can show up regulated, grounded, and connected here first.

Meaningful work matters deeply to me. But these humans? They’re the reason I choose it. Every single time.

Happy Family Day, from my family too yours.

Persistent fatigue isn’t always a sleep problem.

Gut health can influence energy through digestion, nutrient absorption, inflammatory signaling, and gut–brain communication.

Some signs the gut may be part of the picture include feeling unrefreshed after sleep, fatigue that worsens after meals, and relying heavily on caffeine to function.

Addressing fatigue often means looking beyond stress alone and exploring gut health as part of the whole picture.

When it comes to gut health, supplements can be helpful - but they’re only part of the picture.

The gut responds strongly to consistency:
�• regular meals�• stable blood sugar�• predictable sleep–wake rhythms�• manageable stress�• ongoing nourishment

Without these foundations, supplements often can’t do the heavy lifting on their own.

Supporting the microbiome is less about doing everything perfectly, and more about small patterns practiced consistently over time.

🩺 Book a 10-minute complimentary consult if you’d like support building sustainable gut–brain habits that actually stick.

Burnout is often framed as a mindset issue - but clinically, it reflects real physiological changes after prolonged stress.

The nervous system, cortisol rhythm, blood sugar regulation, gut health, and inflammation are all commonly involved. This is why simply “resting more” doesn’t always resolve symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, or low resilience.
Burnout isn’t a personal failure.
�It’s a signal that the body needs support - not just willpower.

🩺 Book a 10-minute complimentary consult if burnout, fatigue, or stress-related symptoms are affecting your health.

There are ten times more bacterial cells in your body than there are human cells. That means you are more bacteria than you are human! The term for this community of microorganisms is called the microbiome, which includes not only bacteria but also viruses and fungi. Your microbiome weighs between 1-2 kg (!!) and plays a key role in digestion, immune function, inflammation, hormone balance, metabolism, and gut–brain communication.

When the microbiome is disrupted, symptoms can show up far beyond the gut — including fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, hormonal symptoms, and metabolic issues.

This is why I view microbiome health as the absolute foundation of overall health.

Brain fog isn’t always a brain-only issue.

Gut health plays an important role in cognition through inflammation, neurotransmitter production, and gut–brain communication.

Three gut-related contributors I often see include:
�• gut dysbiosis�• gut barrier dysfunction & LPS translocation triggering neuroinflammation�• low production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)

Supporting the microbiome can be an important step in improving mental clarity — especially when brain fog is persistent or unexplained.

Brain fog is often connected to nutrient status - especially nutrients involved in energy production, oxygen delivery, inflammation balance, and neurotransmitter function.

Iron, B12, folate, vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, zinc, and selenium all play important roles in brain health. When levels are low, mental clarity can suffer.
Because symptoms overlap, testing is often the most helpful way to understand what your brain actually needs - rather than guessing or supplementing blindly.

🩺 Book a 10-minute complimentary consult to explore whether nutrient testing is appropriate for you.

Many people notice their ADHD symptoms feel harder in winter - and there are real physiological reasons for this.

Shorter days can disrupt circadian rhythm and sleep.
Shorter days can lower serotonin (mood) and dopamine (motivation/reward) levels, intensifying feelings of sadness, irritability, and difficulty initiating tasks.�Lower vitamin D and less movement can affect mood and focus.

ADHD brains are especially sensitive to changes in rhythm and fuel.�The goal isn’t perfection - it’s a few supportive seasonal adjustments.

🩺 Book a 10-minute complimentary consult to explore winter strategies for focus, mood, and energy.

When it comes to ADHD, nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated - but it does need to be supportive.

One simple rule I often come back to is PFF: Protein + Fiber + Healthy Fat

This combination helps:
�• stabilize blood sugar�• support dopamine and focus�• reduce energy crashes�• improve emotional regulation

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a snack, building meals around PFF can make your days feel steadier and more manageable.

Here are a few great PFF examples:
• Eggs + sautéed veggies + avocado
• Fish + quinoa + roasted vegetables
• High-protein yogurt + berries + chia or ground flax + nuts

Brain fog is one of the most common - and frustrating - symptoms women experience during perimenopause.

Fluctuating estrogen can affect neurotransmitters, memory, and focus, while declining progesterone may disrupt sleep and increase anxiety.�Add in changes to the microbiome, inflammation, nutrient status, blood sugar, and stress - and mental clarity can take a hit.

The good news?
�Brain fog in perimenopause is real, common, and treatable when we look at the whole picture rather than just one hormone.
